    Hi JP Thomas,

    Try to update the Input File field with the full path of the file location so that GroundRunner will know where to get the file. The file not found error means that GroundRunner is likely looking in a location where the file does not exist.

    Thanks for the response this worked. 

    I am trying to connect the Get File command to the 'Import File Into table', but I don't know what the File ID is for the file I selected in Get File.

    JP Thomas You will need the Create File command to stage a file into the Wdata table before you can import.  Refer to Step 5 in this CLP: Uploading File to a Table

    Hi JP Thomas,

    You certainly can build the Chain logic on your own using the information in the CLP that Mark linked to above. However, I do recommend using the Load Data to Wdata template in a production Chain.

    Thanks Jeff,

    Honestly this has all become so complicated I am going to just keep uploading the new file into Wdata table manually. It's not worth setting up this chain.

    If I could figure out the Microsoft query connection it would change things but right now it's just not worth it. I wish there was more support and tutorials from Workiva.

    Hi JP Thomas

    I'd like to share a curated list of resources for learning Data Management Suite and Chain building. These resources can help to shorten the learning curve if you decided to take another stab at this in the future. The list includes links to self paced training, start here topics, webinars, and more. You can find the list of links here https://support.workiva.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/21920888619540-Getting-Started-with-Data-Management-Suite.

    Additionally, we host instructor led trainings periodically throughout the year. These include both beginner and advanced trainings. When a class is available, it will be posted at https://www.workiva.com/events for registration.

    If you would like to discuss the Data Management Suite and Chain further, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager who can coordinate a meeting.
